LIES JOURNEY.

AS We speed out of youths sunny station,
The track seems TO shine in the light.
But it suddenly shoots over chasms
Or sinks into tunnels of night,
And the hearts that were brave in the
morning
Are filed with repining and fears
As they pause at the city of sorrow
Or pass thro' the Valley of Tears.
But the road of this perilous journey
The hand of the Master has made;
With all its discomforts and dangers,
We need not be sad OF afraid.
Paths leading from light into darkness,
Ways plunging from gloon to despair,
Wind out thro' the tunnels of midnight
To fields that are blooming and fair.
Tho the rocks ard the shadows sur
round US.
Tho we catch not one CLEAN of the
day
Above US. fair cities are laughing
And dipping white feet in some bay.
AnC always, eternal, forever,
Down over the hills in the west,
The last final end of our journey,
There lies the Great Station of Rest.
'Tis the Grand Central point of all rails
ways,
AL roads center here when they end +;
'Tis the final resort of all tourists,
All rival lines meet here and blend.
All tickets, all mile-b books, all passes,
If stolen or begged or bought,
On whatever road or division,
Will bring you at last to this spot.
If you pause at the City of Trouble
Or wait III the Valley of Tears,
Be patient, the train will move onward
And rush down tie track of the years.
Whatever the place is you seek for,
Whatever your aim or your quest,
You shall come at the last with rejoicing
To the beautiful City of Rest
You shall store all your baggage of
worries,
You shall feel perfect peace in this
realm,
You shall sail with old friends on fair
waters.
With joy and delight at the helm,
You shall wander in cool, fragrant gar
dens
With those who have loved you the
best,
And the hopes that you lost in life's
journey
You shall find in the City of Rest.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

ATTENTION, YOUNG MEN.

We want to call the attention Of all the
young men who are casting their first or
second vote this year to the fact that the
Republican ticket is composed largely Of
young men, and In every regard is worthy
and deserving of their support. 1t is
ticket which any man can be proud to
say he cast his first vote for, and all the
young men are coming enthusiastically
TO its support. In every township and
voting precinct in the state there should
be one or more organisations of young
men formed into club known IS Foraker
clubs, and the young men should be
regular In their attendance at the meet
ings. Documents, speeches and informa-
ton which viii give an insight into the
questions Of the day can be secured from
your county committee or from the state
committee on application There is no
higher duty than that all assist in the
election of officers for the government Of
the state and county, and the men who
are for the first time assuming this grave
responsibility should be sure that their
first vote is being cast right. There is
nothing in the Democratic platform or
Ulcko6 W dG0IdCI 6uc young Hncu, anu LHcy
do not want to start out their political
lives by uniting with patty of fraud
and corruption whioh has no sympathy
with the true interests Of the people, in
suits veteran soldiers who fought to pre-
serve the country that all are
called upon to assist in governing. Young
men, consider well this subject and cast
your vote for the party which you be-
heve to be on the right side Of public
questions, and we have no doubt you viii
cast it for the Republican candidates
PERHAPS Governor Foraker addressed
his interrogstdries concerning the rebel
fag order to tbs wrong person when he
propounded them to Thomas E. Powell.
Let the governor duplicate the queries
and send them to Thomas 3. Mccormick.

One More Democratic County Robbed

There is a big shortage in the treasury
of Darke county. and one mole Demo"
cratic stronghold is poorer by many
thousand dollars. Everything indicates
that Treasurer Simon has stolen $4S,00O
and that one of the worst official rob-
berries ever committed in Ohio is to be
charged up to a Democratic official
How do taxpayers like the returns from
county treasures 10 the hands OF Dem
ocrats, which have come in within the

REPUBLICANS in all parts Of the state
have an object this year in urging the ex-
cellence Of their ticket on voters and tax
payers. 1t is the best ticket and on the
best platform we have had for years. The
candidates are all honorable, exemplary
men, and six of them were soldiers in the
Union army, seven of them have been
tried and have served the people faith
fully and well. The others are COM
petent and deserving. 1t Is q ticket that
needs no apologies or defsnses The
famers are represented on IL, and so are
business men, mechanics and all other
classes. Every man is amply fitted for
the Office for which he Is q candidate, and
every man was nominated to be elected
The Democrats are anxious to defeat
Governor Foraker, and will exert every
effort to do so, but they are just ss anxious
to seriously hamper him in case Of his re-
election by obtaining control OF the lsgis-
lature. They know that II they can get
the legislative body that they viii be able
TO partly tie his hands, and are bend
ing every effort toward the election OF
senators and representatives in the close
districts and counties. This is matter
which must receive the earnest attention

On Thursday evening about 7;30
o'clock Mrs. A. j. Kelly, whose husband
is Superintendent of the steam pumps
along the line of the b. & o. Railroad,
and resides a short distance from this
town was driving to Newark in buggy,
one of the clips holding the shafts on to
the axle became detached, and the shaft
touched the heels of the horse and
frightened it. Mrs Kelly did her best
to hold the horse, but failed, and from
the sudden jerking of the wagon threw
her and the small boy out. The daugh
ter managed to secure the lines and did
her best to stop the frightened horse.
When nearly opposite Mr. James Lyle's
the other side of the shaft-clip gave way
and the young lady was thrown violently
forward to the ground, cutting cash
about an inch long on the left side of her
head, and scratch on the head, and a
slight abrasion of the skin on the right
arm. 1t certainly was narrow escape
of serious injury. Mrs. Kelly received Il
severe shock. She was thrown on her
head, and otherwise hurt. The horse
ran to Main street and down Main and
when opposite the College took the side
walk and dashed down town at a furious
rate. The last seen Of the horse and
